Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

So how do you rate him as a player. I find it hard to get a fix on him, due mainly to that sort of gangly style he has.
Not sure if he would be good for us or not ?

Seen him have some terrible moments earlier on, thought the only way he’s playing nrl is coz of dad, but last couple of games I’ve seen he has played well. Still I don’t think he’s the answer.

As a career-revival option, Waqa Blake could just about be our best centre if he played for us..

He is exactly the sort of player we have bought in the past and hoped to hit the jackpot with but end up with a costly failure.Hope he never even gets close to the club

Why on earth would we do that?

James is eligible to play now. We're already well under the cap, lots of cash to spend this season. We need quality players who can help us win games now.

Either Parra give us that or they dn't get him.

We cannot strengthen opponents without getting something in return. It has never worked for us. We have one of the worst squads in the comp, with large gaps in our roster and prospects.

They want a player they MUST offer us a swap for someone that we want. Or they get nothing.

Maybe we can offload Tuki to the cows and promote James if that's what we want to do.

Too smart a post for this place

Yes just look at the weekend results , big lead and lost , There we’re only 3/4 good players he rest are only reserve grade and poor , Joffa for a top liner only

Levai Saukaru let is opposite winger in for 3 tries. Can not defend on the wing, runs to the centre but too slow to get him before he passes the ball. We lose the game.

They must not have a salary cap... Dead set all their signings are top line and on big cash so nothing left for the others.

Funny though, the 360 gang are all saying Johnston to the Tigers is desperate. Yet not one of the geniuses thought wait a minute maybe Hunt to the Tigers could work, instead it's all about him going to the dogs and them becoming a top 4 team with him. With hunt they might have the players but the jury is still in deliberation about their coach.

Well you can't date 2 girls at the same time and expect to keep either of them.

You don't tell them your dating them behind each other's backs.

Plus it's pretty tough for him I reckon he's Parras version of Brooks always under the microscope cause of assumed nepotism. If my old man was a coach and I was in grade I'd be playing for a completely different team to get established, once I could hold my own fine, but starting out in grade is hard enough plus the added scrutiny, the pressure must be immense.

nobody has mentioned hunt with us at all only Johnson.

It’s not often you see a QLDer and Tigers mentioned in the same sentence.

Hunt said he doesn’t have the time to go through the changes of having a new coach, so if he moves, it will be to a club where he has played well under an existing coach. Dolphins?

Offa not having a great year and Parra really want him so fine but I'm sick of helping out other clubs and getting NOTHING in return would could really use a center and /or a playmaker so Mr Brad Arthur do a deal Penesini ? Simonson ? Dunster ? or your son ?
We don't give without getting

NRL 360 last night no more Kent but the ridicule continues as when discussing Tigers failed attempts at Munster ,Moses , Pearce and now Johnson as highly unlikely as he's happy and back home . Hooper said Tigers cant recruit these players as we are a laughing stock ! To hell with you hoops

We sign Hunt that shuts them up. Money talks and Hunts is a 2 1/2 year prospect , throw the coin his way

Money talks but he is already on $1.3m per season?

Ofahengaue confirmed to the eels, immediate switch, 3 year deal.

Opens the door for Blore and Matamua to get more minutes which can only be a good thing

Nothing mentioned about a player swap in return

Where is it confirmed ?

Not sure they could do it this year but at the end of this year they have 12 off contract including a shit tin of $ tied up in Flano's son.

A lot of people knocking the club and saying if we let Joe O go we will get nothing as we are shit at recruitment.

These people need to go over all transactions the last 12-18 months as they have done an excellent job and basically most that have gone were dead wood and right decisions.
They have fixed our forward pack in this time which I would say most would agree with.

I have full faith in them doing this to the halves / backs over the next 12 months.

We have not signed 1 top line player that has disappointed like in the past with Packer, Mbye, Reynolds etc.. We have also not paid overs like the past considering where we currently sit.

Look at the Dogs and their recruitment by overpaying and IMO will fall on their faces in a few years.

We have found our FB in Bula (he will make mistakes as well but very encouraging), Hooker is settled with some talented junior ones coming through and all we really need is halves and centre to be a very good team.

I've said it before, but we are an NFL team with no Quarterback and it shows.

I will trust the process as we are on the way up so ENJOY the ride folks 😎

agree the club has done well in removing the dead wood and strengthen the forward pack And its time to focus on the halves. But if we were able to offer Moses 1.4mill we must already have unused salary cap cash. Do we need to free up more? Maybe if there is a big play for some halves. If not.. i dont get it, unless its the time to sell re demand.

People make too much of player swaps - really you are better to find the right player to full the spot no matter which club they are at because your spending the money. Why limit yourself to one clubs options

Strange move joe seemed good for culture change very vocal
